“…The Grand Conglomérat and Roan Group sedimentary units pre-date the Lufilian orogeny. Mafic igneous rocks from Roan and Grand Conglomérat have geochemical features of magmas emplaced in East-African-type and Rea-Sea-type rift systems, respectively (Manteka et al, 1985;Kampunzu et al, 1991Kampunzu et al, , 1993Kampunzu et al, , 2000Tembo et al, 1999). The sedimentary succession of the Roan Group includes a conglomerate-sandstone-siltstone-shale and carbonate association, taken for a rift sequence by several authors (Raybould, 1978;Buffard, 1988;Cailteux, 1994).…”
